Timing of Insulin (NA):
- Insulin (NA) likely refers to NPH insulin, an intermediate-acting insulin.
- Typically, it should be taken about 30 minutes before a meal, not 2 hours after.
-
Consultation:
- Always consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice.
- Adjustments in timing or dosage should be made under medical supervision.
-
Safety Precautions:
- Taking insulin too late can lead to poor blood sugar control or hypoglycemia.
- If you experience symptoms like dizziness or confusion, contact your doctor immediately.
Recommendation: Follow your diabetes care team's guidance for safe insulin use.

I've been struggling with gynaecomastia for a while now and tried everything from dieting to gym workouts and running, but nothing seems to work. Is there any way to fix this without going through surgery?
it is possible to decrease the breast prominence by a weight-loss and exercise program as a first-line treatment. Frequently, recurrence in patients affected by gynecomastia results from an imbalance between estradiol and testosterone, and such cases can resolve without surgical intervention.
